How does Avogadro's law explain Gay - lussac's law of combining volumes?

उत्तर
Gay-Lussac experimentally determined that one volume of hydrogen and one volume of chlorine react to produce two volumes of hydrogen chloride gas.
According to Avogadro's law, if :
1 volume of hydrogen contains n molecules of the gas then 1 volume of chlorine also contains n molecules of the gas. Therefore 2 volume of hydrogen chloride contain 2n molecules of the gas.
\[\ce{H2 + Cl2 → 2HCI}\]
1 vol 1 vol 2 vol (by Gay-Lussac)
n n 2n (By Avogadro)
but hydrogen and chlorine are diatomic.
So, 2 atoms + 2 atoms → 2 molecules
1 atom + 1 atom → 1 molecule
i.e. 1 molecule of hydrogen chloride is formed when 1 atom of hydrogen combines with 1 atom of chlorine. Thus Avogadro's law explains Gay-Lussac's law of combining volumes.

Calcium carbide is used for the artificial ripening of fruits. Actually the fruit ripens because of the heat evolved while calcium carbide reacts with the moisture. During this reaction calcium hydroxide and acetylene gas are formed. If 200 cm3 of acetylene is formed from a certain mass of calcium carbide, find the volume of oxygen required and carbon dioxide formed during the complete combustion. The combustion reaction can be represented as below.
